THE DOZEN BUZZIN' COUSINS are a collective of passionate musicians playing an eclectic mix of covers as well as some Ian Leith originals. Guaranteed to please all flavors. Prepare to sing a long, dance and have a great time! UNCLE PIGEON Uncle Pigeon is a Chicago-based quartet led by songwriting-duo Joey Acopiado and Karl Kirkpatrick — featuring also the performances of Phin Gleber (drums) and Henry Carpender (bass/vocals/trombone). Uncle Pigeon incorporates many exciting and musically lush influences from the late 20th century, such as the Allman Brothers Band, Steely Dan, ZZ Top, and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. But Pigeon has never been known to perform a loyal arrangement. When this quartet takes the stage, you'll find all of these classic tunes turned up loud and performed with the unique craftsmanship of a modern rock ensemble. Aside from their blues and southern rock roots — Pigeon features a style of original songwriting that nods its head, subtly, to 90s/2000s Alternative & Indie. Through all of their influences, Uncle Pigeon creates a bluesy pop fusion that is truly all their own. 6pm doors/ 8pm music $10 See less

The Outta Space is excited to have artist and musician KENT SMITH return to show his work and play some music in The Francos for our December art show. "Kent Smith’s work has been described as “charming and hilarious” and “simultaneously subversive and adorable.” A commercial artist, Kent got his start in retail promotion, drawing memorable images for Trader Joe’s, People’s Market, Wild Oats and Lucky’s Market. Other clients include business consulting firms and IT service organizations, where in addition to commissioned illustrations, he has led innovation sessions using graphic facilitation/scribing. Kent’s work, largely acrylic and charcoal, reflects his social conscience, by way of his love of music, midcentury advertising, and furry animals. His delightful, sometimes mischievous, sense of humor (all his puns are unapologetically intended) yields images that cheekily nod to pop culture but are infused with his fresh sensibility and a whole lot of color." -Jane Flynn-Royko “First and foremost, I hope my work entertains. If my Soda Bear and I can do that, maybe saving the planet will come next.” --- Kent Smith, 2021 ALSO--LIVE MUSIC by--- TORPEDOS LOS and THE FRANCOS!!! 6pm doors/ 8pm music $10
